00:00What she means to this town, or to me.
00:24Hey, come on in.
00:26This is still your home.
00:28Wow.
00:30It must be very weird, seeing it so empty.
00:35Oh, like you wouldn't believe.
00:39It's the end of an era.
00:42Hey, I really hope you find somewhere to live soon.
00:45Oh yeah, don't worry about me.
00:47I've got some irons in the fire.
00:51You girls have been wonderful.
00:53They can't thank you enough.
00:55We're the ones that have to thank you.
01:00Everything that you've done for us.
01:03From believing us, and letting us stay.
01:09You've given me the best home that I've ever known.
01:12Same here, love.
01:16Same here.
01:19Oh, more than 30 years.
01:23It's...
01:25So many memories.
01:29I'm gonna miss it.
01:30Monday, seven o'clock.
01:42The event, 33 years in the making.
01:45I want to see old friends while I still remember them.
01:48So while I still got time
01:51And there's wonders left to find
01:55I'll be somewhere out there over the horizon
02:00We should be having a party.
02:01A real ripped snorting.
02:03This is not goodbye
02:07It's not the end
02:10It's till we meet again
02:14Just step into the water
02:20And I'll always be standing right there with you
02:27I just knew that everything was gonna be alright
02:29Because you were by my side
02:30Oh, while I still got time
02:34I'll pick flowers in my mind
02:36You've given me the best home that I've ever known you
02:38I'll be dancing with the embers as they're rising
02:42I don't know how to say goodbye
02:46Don't have the words
02:47Say goodbye to Irene
02:49The history-making event
02:51All of Australia will be watching
02:53Monday, seven o'clock
03:08Can't deny it had a great view
03:10That's all that it had
03:11That place had not been painted in years
03:13Also, the kitchen was just a throwback to the 70s
03:16We could deal with a retro vibe
03:18Can you deal with carrying Archie and his pram
03:20Up three flights of stairs every day?
03:22Hey
03:23How's the house sun going? Hello sun?
03:25Terrible
03:26No, we'll find the right place
03:27The main thing is that we'll stay together
03:29Yeah, and that it has, you know, like a roof
03:31And some running water
03:33Probably no cockroaches
03:34But I don't want to be picky
03:36Hi Irene
03:38Yeah, we can come straight home
03:41Okay
03:42Bye
03:43Irene wants to see us, it sounds urgent
03:46Okay
03:47Keep me posted, yeah?
03:48Yeah
03:49Bye son
03:50Bye guys
03:56I can't believe you're doing this mate
03:57It's not like I hurt anyone
03:59Well that doesn't change the fact that you were over the legal limit
04:03Remy, you're now going to undergo a regulated breath test to confirm that reading
04:07What about my bike?
04:09What about your bike?
04:10You maybe leave it on the side of the road
04:12Someone's going to nick it
04:13Hmm
04:15Probably should have thought about that before you decide to drink and drive
04:19I'm going to organise the test
04:20You're loving this aren't you?
04:22I'm really not
04:30It's all well and good for her to say she wants to leave early but she's just booked her flight
04:34Yeah, I'm sure the travel agent could work something out
04:36Will we still be able to have her farewell party?
04:39Oh two, right, there's no way she's leaving town without a proper send off
04:43Al's right, this is what Irene wants, we just need to pivot and make it work
04:47Let me know what I can do to help
04:49So?
04:50Thanks, we don't need more hands on deck though
04:52Well I'm sure Dana and Harper would like to put their hands up
04:55What about you Palmer?
04:56Well I'm sorry if I'm not excited about Irene leaving sooner
04:59John, none of us are
05:01This was always happening, it's just happening faster
05:04Are you still okay to write your farewell speech?
05:07Well it's a bit of a short deadline but I'll make sure it happens
05:10Thank you
05:11Alright, well I'll get on to the travel agent and see what I can do about this flight
05:14Yeah, I'd better make a start on that speech
05:17John
05:20You alright mate?
05:22I just thought Irene and I would have more time together
05:25Hmm?
05:28Hey, I don't suppose you saw Remy on your drive-in?
05:31No, thankfully
05:33Why, he took off on his bike
05:35I saw how much he drank yesterday, I hope he was okay to drive
05:38Yeah
05:39Oh, thank God
05:41He's with Cash
05:42At least he didn't end up under a truck
05:45Yeah, thank goodness
05:57The second test has confirmed a blood alcohol reading of 0.07
06:01What happens now?
06:06Now he'll be charged with low range drink driving
06:08Charged?
06:09Mate, can't you just let this slide?
06:11No
06:13I get that I've done the wrong thing
06:16Okay, but
06:17I'm only just over
06:19It's my first offence
06:21Let me just pay a fine and we can leave it at that
06:22That's not how this works
06:23No seriously, how much is it? I'll fix it up now
06:24Can't pay your way out of this one Remy
06:27You're gonna have to deal with the consequences
06:29What happened to police discretion?
06:31I've already used police discretion
06:33I could have charged you for assaulting a police officer
06:35And I could have charged you for break and enter
06:37Yeah, well you took my bike keys
06:39This is why
06:41This is why, right now
06:42You should have left the keys where they were
06:44You're being charged with driving under the influence of alcohol
06:48There'll be a fine and your licence has been suspended
06:51Suspended?
06:52Yes, you've disqualified from driving for three months
06:55If you wish to appeal this decision
06:57You have 28 days to lodge an application
06:58I'll be appealing
06:59Okay, then you need to pay the court fees
07:00And you can't drive until a magistrate has heard your case
07:02That is the only way that this suspension can be overturned
07:08When exactly are you leaving?
07:11Well, I haven't locked that down yet
07:13But as soon as I can
07:16Please don't worry about me
07:17I'll either be with family or friends
07:21Or on an organised tour with a health worker
07:24It sounds like you've thought of everything
07:26Well, I hope so
07:28I mean, I need to do this
07:30While I've still got my wits about me
07:32And while I can still enjoy it
07:34Of course you do
07:36Absolutely
07:38Just speed up that house search
07:40Oh my God Father
07:42I completely forgot to tell you
07:44I was talking to the solicitor
07:46And as a condition of the settlement
07:48David can't move in here
07:50Until you guys have found somewhere else to live
07:53You didn't have to do that
07:54But we're very appreciative
07:56Well, I didn't want to leave you high and dry again
07:59I've mucked you around enough as it is
08:02No you haven't, we completely understand
08:04You've done so much for us
08:06Oh, they're such good girls
08:09Anyway, better get cracking on the packing
08:14I, uh, I'm gonna check on Archie
08:22This is happening really fast
08:24I know
08:26What are we gonna do if we can't find a place?
08:29Well, I mean, Irene did just say that we could stay here for a little bit
08:33Yeah, but she needs the settlement for her trip
08:35And David needs someone to live
08:37I know
08:39We're just gonna ramp up our search, that's all
08:47Friendly heads up, Remy
08:49Second offences do not go down well in court
08:50So if you are tempted to drive on your suspended licence
08:53You'll be facing further charges and possibly imprisonment
08:55Yes, I get it
08:57Where do I sign so I can get out of here?
09:02How do I get my bike back?
09:03You need to make arrangements to have someone pick it up
09:05There you go now then?
09:07You idiot!
09:09Do you know how worried I've been?
09:11What happened to my right to privacy?
09:12Don't push him
09:13He called me because you need someone to drive you home
09:15You should be grateful he even came
09:17Do you wanna make yourself useful?
09:19Get old mate to drop the DUI charge
09:21Can you hear yourself?
09:23Go wait in the van
09:24I'm not waiting in the van
09:25Go!
09:26He's not even sorry is he?
09:27I'm in a crowded party, I need to get away
09:31Ah, thank you
09:32Hey!
09:33Hey!
09:34You're a father's growing up
09:35Yeah, he's doing something new every time
09:36It's like if I blink he'll be starting school soon
09:37I just want us to find a place before Irene leaves so she can get on the plane and not worry about us
09:38Well then we're gonna have to lower our expectations
09:39I know
09:40I guess it's the seventies apartment
09:41I know
09:42I guess it's the seventies apartment
09:43I know
09:44It's the seventies apartment for us
09:45It's been laced I checked
09:46You're kidding
09:47That place was a hole
09:48That place was a hole
09:49So what's the plan?
09:50Well we don't have one
09:51I mean now Irene's leaving earlier I guess we're just gonna live on the plane
09:57I don't know
09:58I don't know
09:59You're a father's growing up
10:00Yeah
10:01He's doing something new every time
10:02It's like if I blink he'll be starting school soon
10:03I just want us to find a place before Irene leaves so she can get on the plane and not worry about us
10:05Well then we're gonna have to lower our expectations
10:06I know
10:07I guess it's the seventies apartment for us
10:09It's been laced I checked
10:11You're kidding
10:12That place was a hole
10:14So what's the plan?
10:15Well we don't have one
10:16I mean now Irene's leaving earlier
10:18I guess we're just gonna live on the streets
10:21No we're not
10:22It's under control
10:23But that's not what you said before
10:27So Marley was right
10:28Aren't you boys growing up pretty fast?
10:30He'll be on solid soon right?
10:32Yeah I'm gonna talk to the early childhood nurse about it next week
10:36I'll give you some kuma to soup into you eh son?
10:39I think you're big and strong
10:40I'll help you sleep too
10:41Really?
10:42Kuma soup helps babies sleep
10:43Yeah yeah yeah
10:44Works like a charm
10:45Well if you have any other hot parenting tips
10:47Please let me know
10:52You didn't even try to talk cash around
10:54Why would I?
10:55Oh Eden I went for a ride to blow off some steam
10:57I didn't hurt anything
10:58You were drink driving
10:59I had had one drink since last night
11:01Yeah and last night you were wasted
11:03Or were you too drunk to remember that?
11:04I remember
11:05Remy
11:06You could have killed yourself today
11:08Who cares?
11:10What has happened to you?
11:12If you're looking for alcohol you can forget it there isn't any
11:17Your boyfriend already took my license why can't I have a drink?
11:20You can't keep going on like this
11:21Eden it's not like I can do anything to fix it
11:23Yeah well you can stop making it worse
11:25Right um love all the stuff at that end of the table can go on the charity box I'm gonna hang on to the photos
11:38No worries at all
11:40Hey what are you gonna do with your couch and the dining table?
11:43Well all the kitchen stuff and the furniture is staying down I included it in the sale
11:48Well that was clever
11:49Well at the end of the day it's just stuff isn't it?
11:53I mean it's the personal things I want to keep
11:56Yeah and all your personal things we'll just go and put the storage in it for you
12:00And in the meantime it'll stay there nice and safe until you're ready to pick it up
12:04Ah Palmer that'll be right wait till all the heavy lifting's done and then you turn up
12:08There's still a lot to do
12:10Hey girl how did you go with the travel agent?
12:13Ah good there are a couple of options for you to fly out if you want to keep the guided tours that you picked
12:20So what are they?
12:22Three weeks or three days
12:26No you'd want the flight in three weeks of course
12:29Yeah but love you know I don't want to put the trip off if I can avoid it
12:34So um I need one day to sort this out I need one day to see Finn and the grandkids so um three days
12:49Okay um three days it is
12:52Right
12:57Well I guess that means we should uh start packing your suitcase
13:01Sorry John
13:06Sorry Tom
13:14So Remy did this?
13:15Yeah well like I said you don't have to worry about it I'm dealing with it
13:19Oh you better be
13:20Who trashes a friend's house?
13:22He's not making great decisions right now okay?
13:24Well with all of this going on it's probably a good thing Harper turned down living here
13:27Yeah I think that's for the best in more ways than one
13:30Not if they end up homeless
13:34Sorry I gotta take this
13:36Ian hey what's going on?
13:38I have tried tough love being nice Remy won't listen
13:42You want me to come over?
13:43That's only going to make things worse
13:45Hang on
13:47Where are you going?
13:49Nowhere
13:54Mate you are a lifesaver
13:56I gotta go
13:57I'll take that for your troubles
13:58Aw thanks man
13:59Cheers
14:00Cheers have a good one
14:01You too
14:04How's this going to make things better?
14:08There is no making this better Ian
14:11I just want to stay comfortably numb
14:12What about the wall behind the couch?
14:25I mean the landlord just painted over the mould
14:27Yeah it's so gross as if we wouldn't see that
14:30You know what's sad is that someone would be desperate enough to pay top dollar for such luxury
14:34Yeah I don't care how desperate I get
14:36I'll sleep in the car before I make Archie live in a mould infested place like that
14:41Do you think you need to split up?
14:43What? No
14:44It wouldn't be forever you know
14:45It would be until we found somewhere that we like
14:47That is a terrible idea because then we would have to find two places to live in instead of one
14:52There aren't any rentals available right now
14:54Everything that fits us isn't suitable for a rat
14:56Let alone your cute son here
14:58Sounds like it's pretty tough to find a place at the moment
15:00Yes that is correct Tana
15:03Which is why I think that you should ask Harper to move in again
15:06What are you doing?
15:07I'm making sure that you and your son don't end up homeless
15:09Alright so
15:10I'm going to leave now
15:11You two chat
15:29Couple more loads and I think that should do it
15:33John I know this is tough but you've barely said a word all morning
15:36Well how would you feel if your best mate was heading off overseas alone with a degenerative illness?
15:43Irene is going to have a ton of support I don't think you need to worry about that
15:47She's my best mate
15:49Of course I'm going to worry
15:51I guess we're gonna stay this way
15:56I doubt you care
15:58Yeah
16:03Love, the plane doesn't get in till late so I'll grab a taxi
16:07She is not grabbing a taxi Vijay
16:09Oh my god
16:11She's the other side of the world, she's still bossing you around
16:14Alright well looks like you and your mum have already made up my mind for me
16:17So I'll see you and Luke at the airport in Cyprus in a few days
16:23Bye Vijay, love you
16:25Bye Vijay, she loves you
16:27Bye
16:29Oh my god father, I can't believe that Luke is eight
16:34Time goes last
16:35Oh I can't wait to see her and make some wonderful memories together while we can
16:42While I can
16:44Well some of us here would like to make some nice memories too
16:47We still have some time
16:49Do we have everything?
16:50Almost, one more trip and then on to the fun stuff Irene's party
16:54Frankly I don't see what there is to celebrate
16:57I'll see you later
16:58John
16:59Hey love, hey wow, it's getting real now
17:06Yeah, sure is love
17:08So um, how'd you go with the house hunting? Any nibbles?
17:11Yeah, a couple of bites
17:13That's great
17:15Honestly, I don't know what's gotten into her, just forget everything she said
17:19I don't think I can
17:21She said you're going to be homeless in a couple of days
17:23Well technically that's not true because Irene bought her some time as a condition of the settlement
17:26Okay Harper, Harper can just listen to me please
17:29Look, I know us living together isn't ideal
17:31But surely it's better than the alternative, right?
17:35We will find something
17:36Yeah but will you though, I mean you'll be looking for ages
17:39Look, you and Aunty need a place to stay, I've got a spare room at my place
17:45What do you say?
17:47If we did move in, it would only be temporary
17:51Of course, you stay as long or as little as you need
17:54Whatever works for you
17:56Okay
18:01Okay
18:03Okay, we'll move in
18:05Great, great, um, I'll drop this equipment off and then we'll go get you stuff, yeah?
18:16Okay, how about we swap out the tequila for a coffee, hmm?
18:20That's how it's going to be again today, isn't it?
18:26Morning.
18:28How are you this morning?
18:34I guess that says it all.
18:38You alright?
18:40My best friend is self-destructing in front of me
18:43and there is nothing I can do.
18:46I know that he's hurting and I really want to help him.
18:48But I just-
18:49Hey, hey. Can't help him. Can't help him when he's like this.
18:52Yeah.
18:56Actually, listen.
18:58How would you feel about going for a drive and checking out some wedding venues?
19:01I just got a phone call from Harper and it turns out that she is moving in after all
19:04and I wouldn't mind giving her and Tana a little bit of space.
19:07That sounds lovely, but I can't leave Remy like this.
19:11Remy's a grown man.
19:13It's about time he started taking some responsibility for himself.
19:16Yeah, that is great in theory.
19:18Okay, let's just give him what he wants then.
19:20Let's leave him alone.
19:22You never know, he might surprise us.
19:24He might pull himself together.
19:28You know what?
19:29Let's go plan our wedding.
19:31Okay.
19:32You know, you don't have to do that. I can do it myself.
19:46Oh, it's all good. Half the stuff's Arches anyway.
19:50Now look.
19:52Your sister's happy you're moving in.
19:56Well, my sister needs to focus on her own life.
19:59Now look, she looks happy too. Hey.
20:02Here, let me take him so you can unpack.
20:04Come here, boy.
20:05Where? I mean, which room?
20:07Oh, yeah, just the spare one.
20:10Yeah, yeah, of course.
20:12Hey, it's going to be great.
20:14Having both mum and dad under the same roof to run around after you.
20:18Yeah.
20:19Yeah.
20:20Hey.
20:21Hey, you want to dance?
20:22A-ch-ch-ch-ch. A-ch-ch-ch. A-ch-ch-ch. A-ch-ch-ch-ch.
20:43Oh. Hello.
20:44Sorry, um, next week's troll roster.
20:48It's not, um...
20:50Okay.
20:52How are you doing?
20:53I'm supposed to be writing Irene's farewell speech.
20:57But I don't want to say farewell.
20:59I know.
21:00How far you got?
21:03Oh.
21:05Her party's tomorrow.
21:06Irene is leaving tomorrow.
21:09Do you think it would help to have a couple of people say some words about her, you know?
21:14I could start.
21:15There aren't enough words to describe how much...
